Description
This compact neighborhood spot hums with easy conversation. Inside, you can watch the baristas at work, or you can opt for the limited street seating. The kitchen turns out creative, comforting dishes quickly—including a generous portion of avocado toast. While the kitchen's output is highly regarded, some guests note that drinks can run small or arrive lukewarm. The staff keeps things moving with a friendly, unpretentious attitude.
